Hi {{{{lead.First Name:default=there}},
AI is accelerating development faster than most API teams can validate it. Design gaps, untested endpoints, and governance blind spots are becoming harder to ignore.
The State of Software Quality and Testing 2026
We surveyed 1,500 teams. The findings are in our 2026 State of Software Quality and Testing Report, and for API teams, the numbers are hard to ignore:
- 46% of teams have shipped AI-generated code that failed in production
- 55% report quality issues they trace directly to development outpacing testing
- Only 50% of teams can fully track AI output for audits
- Download the full report below
"Only 46% of teams check that a specification reflects actual intent before AI generates from it." Learn how you can mitigate these challenges for no risks in production."
